Pork, Potato and Kale Soup

Yes, I know it seems a little strange to be posting a soup recipe at this time of year, especially considering the recent heat wave that has descended upon Chicago. However, I could not help myself as my favorite season, fall, is just around the corner and soon my kitchen will be filled with the smells of soups, stews, root vegetables and all the other wonderful items the harvest season brings. This soup is really easy to make and is light enough no matter the season, but hearty enough to fill your belly even on the coldest of winter days. Serve this soup with some crusty bread or my Garlic Butter Grilled Hummus and Homemade Pita Bread for a meal that is sure to please – even on a warm, late summer day!
